Let’s be real here, shopping becomes a little easier when you know your poor spending habits are benefiting others. We’re always on the lookout for how to turn retail therapy into a force for positive change — these independent brands and stores make it easy.

Here is the ultimate list of emerging and independent brands and stores we love who are giving back by donating a portion of sales to charities, some focusing on current issues and others contributing to charities that are in need all year round.
